Jay, I saw your asset mix in another post, and am thinking along similar lines. Problem I've got is my Canadian cash is going up faster than gold or silver, so the stocks are languishing in loonies. (There's a good name for an Off-Broadway show ,"Languishing in Loonies".) I'm 70% cash right now. I was joking on my thread how last weekend a newspaper horoscope told me not to do anything rash until after the autumnal equinox (here we are), so I sat back through the Bernanke "Put" (Put money out of the dollar) this week. The horoscope turned out to be spot on advice. Looks like sitting on that cash is called for until my government does something stupid to help the exporters. Fortunately, that's why they're the government. Hopefully, the US won't do something even more stupid in the interim. But my investing crystal ball is cloudy. You seeing anything solid emerge from the Fall mists yet? CD

TJ, I think it is better to pay in Gold than in Euro. -J6p Message 23905754 Talk about Chutzpa wakeupfromyourslumber.com Israel asks U.S. foreign aid be paid in EUROS FYI - the Euro is now worth about 1.4 US Dollars. Secretary of State Rice has acknowledged a communique from Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Levni which requests that all foreign aid payments and loans from the United States be made in Euros rather than in Dollars. Foreign Minister Levni cited the rapidly declining dollar and it's disfavor as a world currency as reasons for the request. "In the spirit of Yom Kippur, the United States will not hold Israel to any agreements obligating them to accept Dollars as payment for their foreigh aid. We will translate our obligations into Euros or whatever currency that best fits Israel's needs" Secretary RIce said in the Friday, Sept 21 announcement. "We need to place our Israeli obligations at the top of our national prioriy list. Israel should not suffer any inconvenience due to currency fluctuations" said Rice before heading off to Camp David. A similar request from Egypt was declined last week.

<<<accidentally working for 200 odd years in a looted land >>> By that measure any jailhouse lawyer could argue that every individual and every parcel of land resulted from some ancestral pillaging. Anyhow, by what mandate did the communist party in China acquire for the PRC (or itself) all the tea and everything else in China? <<<the Founding Fathers were betrayed when the FED was set up >>> Any country hoping to join the new world order will have to set up a Central Bank with similar mandate. <<<Founding Fathers vs Confucius, >>> If you must go there, Ghengis Kahn was far more prolific in that arena. <<<we near TeoTwawKi dawn recommendation: get some worry beads, preferably gold or platinum. >>> There you go again. What do you have against Hillary? TeoTwawki will occur before she is sworn in as the next President of the United States. It will actually take place in November 2008 on election night when she declares victory. Just be prepared for a brighter future for all of mankind.
